Dear AU Supporter,

There has never been a more important time to support church-state separation because we’ve never faced a threat this big. 

After 35 years at Americans United, I’ve witnessed some astonishing twists and turns in the fight for true religious freedom. As editor of Church & State magazine and AU’s “Wall of Separation” blog, I’ve had the profound privilege of providing advocates with the information and perspective you need to understand what we’re up against and, hopefully, the motivation to take action to fight it.

But this last year was different. Please help us make 2023 the year that America recommits to church-state separation with a matched, tax-deductible gift to AU today.

Christian nationalists threaten our nation and its future. As the last year has so vividly illustrated, this dangerous movement may be a fringe minority, but its leaders will subvert democracy to cling to their power and privilege. We’ve seen blatant threats to our First Amendment rights and have witnessed first-hand the ramifications of religious freedom being corrupted and abused by courts and lawmakers at every level. But the fight isn’t over, not by a long shot. 

Donors like you keep AU solid and vital. Please make a tax-deductible, year-end gift to express your unwavering resolve to fight for your right to live and believe as you choose.

AU works tirelessly to anticipate, confront, defeat and expose radical Christian nationalist groups and their allies. For 75 years and counting, we’ve been sounding the alarm about the threat they pose to Americans of all religions and none. We will continue to advocate in courts, legislatures and the public square to ensure freedom without favor and equality without exception. 

Right now, the most meaningful action you can take is giving a tax-deductible, year-end gift today to Americans United. Especially since every dollar you contribute will be matched—doubling your impact.

We need every bit of support our community can muster. We cannot just hope for better times; we must do whatever we can to realize them now. Your generous gift today will help us make our hopes a reality.

Thank you again for your steadfast support of Americans United.

Rob Boston
Senior Adviser, Editor of Church & State magazine
